Ethan Hawke recently lashed out at the Oscars in Gotham magazine. “People want to turn everything in this country into a competition…if you look at how many forgettable, stupid movies have won Oscars and how many mediocre performers have Oscars above their fireplace,” he said. “Making a priority of chasing these fake carrots and money and dubious accolades, I think it’s really destructive.” Hawke has been nominated twice for an Oscar.
